Hey Y’all,
For recipe #2 I was feeling the inspiration of summer and sitting by the beach sipping margaritas. Who’s with me?! Of course my favorite dish when beach side (or pool side, or really anywhere for that matter) is guacamole! It’s simple, delicious, and healthy! Keep in mind that I made this guacamole just for myself, but you can easily double the recipe and bring it to a party!
Ingredients:
1 whole ripe avocado
1 small tomato
1 small bushel fresh cilantro
1 lime
1/4 small white onion
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
Optional: 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (spicy edition)
Step 1
First, get a small bowl and cut the avocado all the way around. Then take out the pit and slice the avocado so that it is easier to mash. Next, take a spoon and scrape out the diced avocado into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork or spoon.
Step 2
The next step is to take the cilantro and chop it up as much as you can. Add as much or as little cilantro as you’d like! I love cilantro so I added pretty much the whole bushel, but I know some people do not like it at all! Add to the bowl. Cut up the onion as well. Then, dice the tomato and add to the mixture. Also add 1/2 the lime.
Step 3
Next, add a little under 1/2 tsp salt, and a little under a 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Finally, add a heaping 1/2 tsp of ground cumin. p
Step 4
Finally, add 1/2 tsp of ground pepper and if you would like it spicy, add 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper. Mix ingredients all together and taste. If you like your guac with more lime, add the remaining 1/2 lime juice.
Now you have a delicious go-to snack as well as a fabulous dip for parties! Guacamole is an easy and simple recipe that can be enjoyed time and time again. It can be enjoyed any time of the year, it can be enjoyed as a snack or add on top of a meal! Enjoy!
Bon Appétit!
XoXi,
